Street parking&#39;s a bit of a hassle, but you can usually find a spot. The real win was their wine list&mdash;found a nice, earthy red that went perfectly with the grilled octopus. Made the whole search worthwhile.

This is a nice neighborhood spot for getting some work done. Plenty of seats and the wifi is solid. The baristas are friendly. I had the green pineapple iced tea&mdash;it was refreshing and not overly sweet, which I liked. A good, quiet place to focus.

Came with a big group and they got us a table right away. The food arrived super fast, which was great since we were all hungry. My pad thai was really flavorful, not too sweet.

Solid portion of Cajun fish and butter shrimp. Good amount of bell peppers and tomatoes, plus a large garlic bread. Parking is easy, view is decent. Gets crowded on weekends, but manageable.

The vegetarian platter is a real treat. So many different dips and little dishes to try, all with their own distinct flavor. It&#39;s definitely enough for two, maybe even three if you&#39;re not super hungry. A nice way to sample a bit of everything.

The Captain Spudling pizza was a fun comfort food idea. Their beer list had a few nice options that really worked with those rich, savory toppings.

The first-come, first-served thing can mean a wait, but the lounge area is so cozy. Love the fire pits, makes hanging out before you get a table actually nice.

Came in to catch the game. The pretzel appetizer was the real star - perfectly soft and salty, went great with the beer. Solid spot for sports and snacks.

The patio dining experience is a must! With fire pits and views of the yachts, it&#39;s a great place to unwind. The food and cocktails are sublime, particularly the miso glazed grouper.

My friend insisted we drive out here for dinner. The pad thai was even better than she promised! The staff was super attentive, they even remembered we were celebrating a small win. Made the trip totally worth it.

Service was on point for our group dinner. The team handled a birthday request smoothly, no fuss. Made the evening run without a hitch.

The garlic butter sauce on the grilled chicken is so good. Makes it super juicy.

Love that they&#39;re always brewing something new. Tried a sour that was a bit too funky for me, but hey, that&#39;s the fun of it. Always a cool surprise on tap.

The back patio is a solid choice. We were seated immediately, which was a plus on a busy night. The retractable awning was useful when the sun came out. Good option if you want to skip the main dining room wait.

That breakfast chorizo burrito was the real deal. The chorizo had a nice smoky kick, and the scrambled eggs were still creamy. The tortilla held everything together without getting soggy. Really hit the spot.

Love their daily specials. The ingredients always taste so fresh, like they just came from the market. The grilled salmon special today was perfectly cooked, with a really nice side of seasonal vegetables. The table bread is also incredible&mdash;always ask for seconds!

Love that they have the patio heaters going this time of year. It was so nice to sit outside with my dog and not feel chilly at all. A real bonus for us pet owners!

Sat at the sushi bar, which was fun. The Spanish mackerel was super fresh, and the tuna belly just melted. Really enjoyed watching the chef work.

The chicken parm was really solid, and the portion was huge for what you pay. The place itself is pretty cozy, with these nice wooden booths that make it easy to just settle in and relax.

Got lucky on a packed Saturday night. The bread they bring out first is so good. Shared a giant antipasto salad with friends, then demolished a meatlovers pizza. Parking&#39;s a bit of a hassle.

The menu here is huge, and it&#39;s not just the usual Indian stuff. I got lost reading all the Nepalese and Tibetan options. Found a few dishes I&#39;d never even heard of before, which was cool.

The garlic noodles with tofu were rich and satisfying. I appreciated the thoughtful vegetarian selection. Their house red was a surprisingly good match for the savory notes in the dish. The watercress salad with sesame dressing was a nice, crisp side.

The Thai boat noodles were pretty good, nice flavor and a big portion.

Just a heads up, they only take cash. There&#39;s an ATM inside, but it charged me a fee. Good thing I had my friends to spot me until I got cash out!

I had an amazing dining experience at Nelson&#39;s! The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful time, and the beautiful patio setting added to the overall ambiance. Highly recommend for group gatherings!

The Cochinita Pibil was fantastic, and the waiter suggested a great red wine that really complemented the rich, tender meat.

The new manager made the place feel so much cozier. I stopped by for a latte and just wanted to stay all afternoon. The lighting is perfect now.

Casual spot, good for a quick bite after work. The M.S.G. pizza was solid - thin crust, crispy, nice smoky flavor from the sausage. Brussels sprouts were crispy too. Service was efficient, got our order out fast. A bit loud inside, but that&#39;s the vibe.
